SpongeBob’s “Pineapple” Under the Sea and Fibonacci Numbers

Apparently Nickelodeon is defying the laws of the universe by claiming that SpongeBob Squarepants lives in a pineapple under the sea. Why?

Besides the fact that his pants are not actually square, he doesn’t live in a pineapple. He can’t. Pineapple patterning follows a classic mathematical sequence: the Fibonacci numbers.

Watch as the spirals of a pineapple are counted and be amazed at nature’s natural order. you can find this patterning in pinecones, flowers and artichokes, too!

Your move, Nickelodeon!
